Hi ladies surgery went well yesterday I have not much swelling or pain just little burning sensation and sleeping a lot they took 992gm from my right breast and 899gm from my left breast. Oh what a relief when I first woke up after surgery I realized that I feel so much lighter and my breast much flatter. I must say I think I would be in great pain but hell no , I slept well last night and even now as you can see I have no drains in my doctor them out today. So they did do inside stitches which is great arms feel free no type or even my boobs just a little. I should say Dr Samson omg he's such a wonderful man very warm always smiling someone you can talk to ask any question and you will answer very gentle wow the staff at the surgery center of Volusia they are really loving very very very clean facility everything from dr. To staff 100%

I haven't been on here in a LONG WHILE & logged in today and here you are in my newsfeed! I'm so glad you decided to submit to your insurance and I'm so happy you are pleased with your doctor's work. Once they heal, you are going to feel like a new woman! Best advise I can give is take it easy and REST, REST, REST! I went back to work way too soon (only after 10 days) & because I 'felt good' I started to do way too much, when I should not have been doing anything. Like my doctor said, don't lift anything heavier than a spoon or fork lol. I am 6 months post and I LOVE MY PERKY BOOBS! For the first time in my life I've been able to go braless a few times and honey it's the best feeling ever!

Oh and guess what? I JUST scheduled my tummy tuck with Dr. Ortega today. My date is July 12th!!! Now I'm contemplating an Airbnb condo or recovery house!! So so excited! I will keep you updated on my journey/experience with Dr. Ortega.

Congrats again breast friend!!! Welcome to the smaller side!!!

The moment I woke from surgery I complained of burning. Pain meds helped but I experienced the burning until my drains were removed. So just make sure you're taking your pain meds as prescribed & for as long as you feel you need. Once your drains are removed, you'll feel much better. When are you suppose to get them out? Also, make sure you take some magnesium (or whatever works for you) for possible constipation while taking your pain meds. Stool softeners didn't help me. The powder magnesium is odorless and tasteless & worked perfectly because I was able to sprinkle it in my yogurt. I tracked everything so feel free to go back & read the reviews I posted the 1st week post surgery if you need any encouragement. Take your pain meds & take it one day at a time. Happy healing breast friend!!!
